-Liferea is a simple FeedReader clone for Unix distributions with GTK2 (GNOME2
-is optional). It is a news aggregator for RSS/RDF feeds which also supports CDF
-channels, Atom/Echo/PIE feeds and OCS or OPML directories. The problem with
-FeedReader: for now its only available for Windows. There are some projects for
-GNU/Linux, but no solution for GTK/GNOME, which does not require Python or
-Perl. Liferea tries to fill this gap. Liferea is an abbreviation for Linux Feed
-Reader.
+Liferea is an aggregator for online news feeds. There are many other news
+readers available, but these others are not available for Linux or require
+many extra libraries to be installed. Liferea tries to fill this gap by
+creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator for GTK/GNOME.
